Whatever happens, Thorn has to go & go now. I don't care how nice a guy he is or how little money he has to spend, he has by no means the worst squad in the division & simply isn't up to it.
The table begs to differ.
I find it hard to understand where people get this notion the squad is better than the league table implies? We finished 18th last season, and that included our 3 better players, Westwood, Gunarsson & King. So why after losing our better players and not replacing them do people seem to think our league position isn't a fair one? I don't see any other Championship teams beating a path to our door wanting all of our players. Juke, Clingan, Cranie & Keogh could move on for money, but who else? The likes of Bigi, Thomas, Christie etc are merely potential at the minute, unfulfilled. McSheffrey & Eastwood are overweight & lacking in enthusiasm for the fight. McPake, Bell & Deegan are forever injured and so a waste of time & resources.
I thought we would be relegated before a ball was kicked this season, and I've seen nothing to change my mind. Quite simply, the table doesn't lie.
